Ellie!!!

Ellie is an anthropomorphic elephant dressed in a New York basketball uniform numbered 10, spinning a hula hoop with one outstretched arm while striking a confident pose. She wears a Statue of Liberty crown on her head, mint green sneakers on her feet, and her jersey reads "W YORK" across the chest. The color palette is predominantly dark gray with mint green accents throughout the crown, hoop, and shoes, giving the composition a cohesive two-tone feel. The drawing has a hand-rendered, slightly grainy quality consistent with the mini print format. Elephants are among the most socially complex mammals on Earth, known for strong family bonds and long memories. The African elephant is the largest land animal, while the Asian elephant is somewhat smaller and often depicted in art and cultural traditions across many regions. This Ana Inciardi mini print sits comfortably among her animal subjects, combining her affection for creature characters with a distinctly New York identity. The Statue of Liberty crown is a smart visual shorthand that anchors Ellie firmly in New York City, making this print a natural bridge between her animal prints and her New York prints. Collectors drawn to her city-themed work often find Ellie an appealing crossover piece, while those who collect her animal subjects appreciate the playful athleticism and character depth she brings to the figure. The signed "ANA / NC" notation in the lower right corner is consistent with her standard mini print presentation. Ellie pairs naturally with her other New York prints for collectors building a city-themed grouping.
